About Suri
Suri is a city and a municipality in the Indian state of West Bengal. It is the headquarters of the Birbhum district.
Prior to the advent of the British in India and their acquisition of the territory of Bengal, Suri was but merely a small village. Yet, the British colonists preferred to choose Suri as the district headquarters of Birbhum, probably owing to convenience of transport and communication.
